Question

the original cell theory has been expanded upon since it was first developed to include further additions due to advances in research on the cell. which statements were not in the original cell theory, but are further explained by the modern cell theory? check all that apply. all cells are similar in structure and function. cell contains hereditary information that is passed from cell to cell during cell division. living cells can be created from dead cells. all cells perform similar metabolic activities.

Explanation:

The original cell theory had three main points: all living organisms are composed of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and cells come from pre - existing cells. The idea that cells contain hereditary information passed during cell division and that all cells perform similar metabolic activities are concepts further explained by modern cell theory. Living cells cannot be created from dead cells as it violates the principle of biogenesis. Also, not all cells are similar in structure and function as there is great cell - type diversity.

Answer:

Cell contains hereditary information that is passed from cell to cell during cell division.
All cells perform similar metabolic activities.
